Huge shout out and thanks to all these for being so useful and solid that I *can* depend on them:

- OBS Studio (@OBSProject), used basically daily to get local videos of sessions for supervision and study

- LibreOffice (@libreoffice), used weekly or a few times a month

- Linux Mint (@linuxmint) which is my backup machine's OS, someday to become my main one, hopefully.
